A prostate biopsy is an acceptable procedure to be performed as an ambulatory surgery on an otherwise healthy adult male because the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) consid-ers that a:
 
  1. Physical status class 1
  2. Physical status class 2
  3. Physical status class 4
  4. Physical status class 5

Question 2

Which of the following statements made by a nurse reflects the greatest insight into the responsi-bility an ambulatory care nurse has to the client's family?
 
  1. A client's family deserves the attention of the nursing staff.
  2. Family is important to my client, and so family is important to me.
  3. I consider myself as having several clients: the surgical client and all the family that's present.
  4. I am responsible for keeping the family informed of the status of their loved one both during and after the procedure.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
ASA physical status classes 1 and 2 and also stable class 3 are now acceptable for ambulatory surgery. Classes 4 and 5 require inpatient surgery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Family members attempt to provide support through their presence but face many of the same stressors as the client. You need to effectively communicate with the client and family; they are clients as well.
